The University Hospital "St. Ivan Rilski ”in Sofia is introducing a new, fully automated system for coronavirus diagnosis. The CMIA type test is CE marked. According to world standards, this is the highest level of reliability, the hospital said.

Unlike the "quick tests" used so far, the new method gives a much higher productivity of 180 units per 1 hour. In addition to rapid administration of the samples, it allows tracking of the stages in which the disease develops. For patients who are being treated or admitted to hospital, the test will be free. The new method will replace the "rapid tests" that are currently mandatory.
